Just measure, open the notebook flat, cut around leaving enough border to fold to the inside of the notebook covers, and glue with a liquid fabric glue (Elmer's works). You can "paint" a thin wash of glue to the outside of the notebook as you adhere and smooth the material. Trim fabric overlap as necessary to achieve a smooth and neat finish. Allow to dry. A rickrack or trim of some kind can be glued on the inside of the rough edges of fabric using a hot glue gun.
